I know it’s not terribly musical, but it is the most famous horror theme music in history and it is Halloween soon, so why not run with it? That’s one of the things I appreciate most about John Carpenter. Not only is he a writer and director, he also composes music for all his films. Most of it is really, really good, too.

When I get my ultimate home theater system together, of the many framed movie posters I intend on having as decoration for the Theater Room will be the poster from Halloween. I went to a guy’s house once and in their basement, they had this poster on the wall and that’s kind of what got me started on the kick to collect and frame movie posters. I have some really good ones; unfortunately, I don’t have them framed and they’re kind of getting beaten up. BUT, when I win the lottery, I can just buy new posters and have them framed no problem.
